All this time and I never have fixed it. At this point I just lock out the slide most of the time. I wound up getting a table saw that I use for any longer cuts. I’m fairly sure this is fixable, but I just haven’t needed it. Honestly, for as little as I paid for the saw it works very well. Everything else is extremely accurate, so I just consider it a non-sliding compound miter saw.
